hi! fifth person here for your ‘justified’ content! i think one of my favorite canon moments is when boyd/ava and raylan/tim are conspiring against each other. that mirroring conversation of ‘we can do that, the other will see right through it’ it really just hilighted to me their understanding of each other. their respect of each other’s intelligence maybe?
Excellent, we could play our own game of 3-on-3 basketball! (Not well. I’m terrible at basketball, but at least the conversations about Justified would be good.)
I went hunting for the gif of this beautiful moment you’ve mentioned, because I knew I couldn’t have resisted reblogging such a thing, and I was right. It’s such a perfect demonstration of how they fit against each other, as you’ve said. Technically, Boyd isn’t even supposed to be thinking about Raylan at this point, he’s supposed to be thinking about Markham (as Ava says), but he’s looking at Raylan instead. They choose each other, again and again, as the person who’s going to best understand them, as the most important person in their lives, even if it’s as an opponent, and I adore that about them.
